D-Link DWS-1008 User Manual
Supported RADIUS Attributes
D-Link Mobility System Software (MSS) supports the standard and extended RADIUS authentication
and accounting attributes.
An attribute is sent to RADIUS accounting only if the table listing it shows Yes or Optional in the column
marked Sent in Accounting-Request for the attribute and the attribute is applied to the client’s session
configuration. Attribute values have the following characteristics unless otherwise stated:
• Strings can contain a maximum of 253 characters.
• Integers are 4 bytes.
• IP addresses are 4 bytes.
The RADIUS attributes MSS supports are based on these IETF RFCs and drafts:
• RFC 2865, Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS)
• RFC 2866, RADIUS Accounting
• RFC 2868, RADIUS Attributes for Tunnel Protocol Support
• RFC 2869, RADIUS Extensions
• draft-congdon-radius-8021x-29.txt (IEEE 802.1X RADIUS Usage Guidelines)
